[[redirect:WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood]]''Swing Shift Cinderella'' is a 1945 animated short film (6 minutes) directed by Creator/TexAvery, one of the WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons.

The Big Bad Wolf is chasing after Little Red Riding hood in a redux of earlier Avery short "WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood". Red points out that they are in the wrong cartoon, so the Wolf decides to look up Cinderella instead. Cinderella has a ball to get to, so she sics her Fairy Godmother on the Wolf. The Fairy Godmother is very attracted to the Wolf, much to the Wolf's horror. Meanwhile, after the Fairy Godmother transforms Cinderella's pumpkin into a station wagon, Cinderella makes it to the ball, but she has to leave by midnight--so she's not late for her shift at the factory.
